Collector and Heiress.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In last Mondays GLOBE, Sept. ~, in
the department Among the Horses"
some party commenting on the two
year-old stake race makes Slurring
assertion that Collector was closely
pressed by Heiress, and if the tilly had
been handled differently she would
have won.
Collector has been handled for speed
two seasons. He is of very moderate
temperament, easy to drive and if nee
eSsary will take the whip from wire to
wire without break, and as every per-
son must confess is grand and speedy
colt, and credit to any sire in the
land. HeireSS, on the contrary, was
only broken the past spring, and tracked
but SIX weeks, yet many persons re-
marked was the speediest of the two.
Her temperament is exactly the reverse
of Collectors. She was by
far the hardest colt to drive.
From his statement the public might
infer that she was not driven to win.
Now, why did not this party plainly
state that the filly was driven by an ig-
noramus wholly devoid of the least
grain Of common sense or Judgment in
developing speed in colts, and not whip
around in such an Indifferent manner?
Such statement would have suited
better. This publication was outside
the ownership of HeireSS and also the
turf editorial of the GLOBE, emanating
entirely from some outside party, whose
malicious attack was altogether uncalled
for. C. O. WEEKS.
